I've Been Everywhere Lyrics
I was totin' my pack
Along the long dusty Winnamucka road.
When along came a semi
With a high canvas covered load.
If your goin' to Winnamucka,
Mack, with me you can ride.
And so I climbed into the cab
And then I setteled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road
With so much dust and sand,
And I said, "Listen! I've traveled
Every road in this here land!"
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the deserts bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
I travel - I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.
I've been to:

Fargo,

actually guys, this is a cover of a 1962 Hank Snow song.
Theres also a Texas country version of this song that I am looking for.
To me this is about being in the game a long time, having all types of adventures
Cash is a master...it must be a list of many places he been to...including a few in my homestate. Fargo, Devils Lake, and maybe even Larimore. Larimore is a town that has around 1000 people in my home state. Could it be possible that Cash stopped there, maybe just to eat lunch.
nice,umm why even write what you think this song means? its about where the hell hes been obviously. but he shoulda said Fresno in his list of "o" towns. fresno is freakin sick
lmao, theres a gravelburg?! lol
lmao, theres a gravelburg?! lol
He's been everywhere...
man.
i think duh this is where he has been - everywhere, but i also think that he's telling whoever he's talking to, nothing can shake me and nothing surprises me - i've seen it all and that's how life is, you go everywhere and see everything and then you die pretty sweet song about life - how did he get to be able to sing so fast? -rebeckah
i think its Ellensburg not Ellisburg
im pretty sure hes trying to tell you, hes been a lot of places.
